This study aims to describe the implementation of the Hospital Component of the Urgent and Emergency Care Network (RUE), and to evaluate the delivery of priority Lines of Care in places that serve as gateways in Brazilian regions, between 2011 and 2019. This is a descriptive and analytical study, using data from the National Registration System of Health Institutions (CNES) of the Ministry of Health. To assess significant differences before and after the implementation of Priority Lines of Care, the Wilcoxon test was used. It was found that the Southeast region had the largest increase, including the implementation of technologically denser care points, followed by the Northeast, South, North, and Midwest regions. The South region stood out for the implementation of Priority Lines of Care. Not only did it implement the most of these lines, but it also increased the number of visits and decreased the average length of stay. The Trauma Line of Care was found to be the most effective, when verifying the number of visits with population growth. It was concluded that the Hospital Component of the RUE has made considerable advance, but regional inequalities are still significant
